Hmm.. I presume is 1080p gaming judging from the monitor you are using.

GPU that are in the $400 ish range are 7950 and 660 Ti using budget brands as the guide.

You probably get 7950, price ranges from 390 - 420 for budget brands such as PowerColor or Sapphire.

660Ti wise, I not very sure what brands to go for though.


Alternatively, you can wait for 760 Ti, which is supposedly a refresh of 670, but rumored to be priced at 660 Ti range to fight with 7950.

Exact launch date is not released for 760 Ti due to NDA.
My guess is pretty soon though looking at the timeline and various info on the web..

Thx for replying. Yeah only 1080p. So should wait for 760ti eh? I read something about that but I was wondering if I should get 2 x 670 once the price drops.

I not sure whether will there be price drop, or basically phase out since it is a refresh.

Hmm.. if you are going sli route, might as well use the money to buy 780.
Easier on the power consumption.

I think if you are not in the rush to change, wait for 760Ti ba.. Should be soon...

Nah really in a rush. Ok guess will have to wait to check new prices

I think for 1080p gaming a GTX 670 is way more than enough. At 80fps performance, u wun see the difference if your monitor is limited to 60hz refresh rate (60hz = 60fps max, i cant see what monitor u use since i'm typing this on phone). With budget $400, u shld gun for Leadtek GTX 670 at $476 from PCThemes.
